Summary:
The Keyes Union school district in California includes three public schools—Keyes Elementary, Barbara Spratling Middle, and Keyes to Learning Charter—serving grades K-12 for about 1,064 students, with the district ranking in the middle third statewide.
Among these schools, Keyes to Learning Charter stands out for its strong academic performance, exceeding both district and state averages in English, math, and science, and for its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 2.2%. In contrast, Keyes Elementary and Barbara Spratling Middle perform below these averages, with the middle school showing particular concern due to a high 20.4% chronic absenteeism rate and a recent decline in its statewide ranking.
Overall, the district's academic proficiency lags behind the California state average across all core subjects. The notable success of the charter school, which achieves these results with the lowest per-student spending and highest student-teacher ratio in the district, suggests there are effective practices there that could inform improvements elsewhere, especially in addressing middle school challenges and attendance.
